If you find yourself in a situation where you have no power, like many people on the East coast at the moment, redditor Tommy points out that you can light up an entire room with a jug of water and a flashlight.

All you have to do is fill up a one-gallon, translucent jug of water and strap a flashlight to it. Point the flashlight inward, turn it on, and the water will boost the light so it fills the room. Presumably a brighter flashlight will work better, but it sounds like this trick should help distribute the light better with whatever you’ve got.
